Chapter 291
He had attempted to call Sean the moment he got off the call with Naomi, but Sean's line was busy. Charles knew that he was probably speaking to Naomi, so he tried not to bombard Sean with even more calls.
However, about ten minutes had passed since his last call, so Charles was certain that Sean would be free now.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment..."
Charles was surprised. He froze in shock, then put down his phone.
Was Sean still on the phone with Naomi?
Charles glanced at the time. It was already midnight.
Suddenly, the air stewardess's voice rang out over the public announcement system, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard our flight. We will be taking off in fifteen minutes. Please make sure your seatbelts are fastened..."
Charles decided to send a message to Sean instead, and then he texted Naomi to let her know of his situation.
After that, Charles got on the phone with his mother to tell her he would be arriving soon. Shortly after that, the flight took off, so Charles switched off his phone.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Meanwhile, Sean had been busy tending to Amelia. He tried to call her immediately after getting off the phone with Naomi, but Amelia declined his call. Therefore, he had no choice but to speak directly to the hotel manager and send him to check on Amelia instead. After that, he sent a doctor to Amelia's hotel to have a look.
Sean had made a handful of calls and was finally relieved when the hotel manager told him the ambulance had arrived and was on their way to the hospital.
After getting off the call with the hotel manager, Sean called the doctor himself. He had already arranged for the ambulance to head to the nearest hospital and assigned a doctor to standby when Amelia arrived. The doctor was to report to him directly once he had seen Amelia.
All of a sudden, a message popped up on Sean's screen. It was Charles.
Sean suddenly recalled that he had missed Charles' call while making the necessary arrangements for Amelia. He immediately clicked on the message.
[Naomi told me Amelia wasn't feeling well. She asked me for your number, so I gave it to her. I'm on my way back to San Angelino for an urgent issue. I've already boarded the flight, so I'll be unreachable until 1:40 a.m. I don't think I'll be sleeping much tonight, so just let me know if there's anything I can help with. Call me then.]
Charles had to return to San Angelino?
Sean was one of the only few people who knew that Charles' hometown was San Angelino. The fact that he was rushing there at this time of night could only mean something had gone wrong with his family.
Sean did not think twice before dialing Charles' number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment..."
Sean glanced at the screen, frowning. Charles' flight had probably taken off already.
He decided to message Charles instead, but suddenly, something occurred to him.
Charles was on his way to San Angelino, and Naomi was on her way to see Amelia, who just so happened to be in San Angelino as well. What a perfect coincidence!
Did Charles know San Angelino was where Naomi was headed?
Sean recalled the conversation he had with Naomi, and then checked Charles' message. It would appear, that Naomi had not told Charles where she was headed. After all, this had nothing directly to do with Charles, so there was no need to tell him. All she needed from Charles was Sean's number so she could get
in touch with him.
However, Naomi had to tell Sean everything so that he could take care of things.
All Charles seemed to know was

that Amelia was not feeling well. Not only that, but he even told Sean the truth about him needing to rush back to San Angelino and would not get much sleep the entire night. It would sound as though Charles had no idea that Naomi was headed to the same place as well.
Sean decided to tell Charles. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Naomi was going to be in his hometown! He could not allow Charles to miss out on this!
Shortly after texting Charles about this news, Sean called the doctor for an update on Amelia's condition.
Although Amelia was his priority, he still had to look out for Charles. His dream was to host a double wedding with him and Amelia, and Charles and Naomi. Meanwhile, Naomi's taxi arrived at Herland International Airport. She paid the fare and got out of the car.
